I got my new phone a few weeks back - HTC Desire, love it, apart from the 3g internet, I use Facebook app widget now and then on it but then I checked my internet allowance and it had nearly all gone, just from using facebook? I'm now scared to use the internet on my phone so I just have it off all the time. Can anyone help me out with what to do? Do I use the FB internet site to browser facebook? The guy who sold the phone to me if I was using internet to browse and check FB i would not use up barely any data
3G internet usage on Orange?
I would try just using the app, rather than the widget.
The app you go into when you need it, and it updates there and then.
The widget lives on your home screen and is constantly connected and updating - this could be what is using your data.

If you've only just got the phone, you may only have a part allowance of stuff untill your billing date.....

This also happened to me. Check tomorrow and you should find you have all of your allowance. You will probably find that all of your inclusive minutes were pretty much gone too. My billing date is 24th and I bricked it when I first got the phone and that turned out to be the issue.

If today is your billing date then it shouldn't. It's possible today isn't your billing date. The easiest thing is to dial 150 from your Orange handset and ask CS

By that, do you mean your direct debit has come out today? As in money has come out of your account?

Ah, I see. Looks like your billing date is the 8th of each month then, with the 23rd being your payment date, so you will get everything next on the 8th of April.
I'd suggest downloading the 3G Watchdog app from Android Market at some point before or on the 8th for next month, as it's very good for keeping on top of data use when you have a fixed allowance.
